Hmm, as impressive as what I did to Evans on the track?
Evans is a sparring partner.

Why?
I don't usually do this.
Eat?

See, that's your problem.
Why does everybody keep telling me what my problem is?
It's that you get so emotional.

Al always wanted a son but I mean, they tried I'm sure.
So what was Al like growin' up?
I wouldn't know.
He left me with my aunt when I was ten and
Jake was the kid next door.
They became my family.
I don't get it, if you hate your dad so much...
I don't hate my dad.
You'd think you'd hate racing.
I don't hate my dad.
Are you kidding?
I-I worshipped him.
Al Shines, the greatest racer in the country and he was my dad.
He taught me to drive when I was eight,
go-carts then midgets.
He'd go on the road at first and come back and for the first few
days he was home, I'd pretend that racing was the greatest
thing in the world and then one day
it was the greatest thing and he was gone.
Can we change the subject?
Do you wanna know what we call my dad?
What's that?
The Chief.
The Chief?
The Chief.
Let's see who the chief really is.
With 25 laps to go and 125 on the board,
things are really heatin' up.
Quite a battle has developed between Shines and Walker
in Riverside.
Number 72, MacKay is holding the lead by a hair.
Kylie!
This is Al Shines' daughter in car 33 and it looks
like her hall of fame father must've shown her a move
or two.
I'm not too sure this is how he'd do it though, Boomer.
It's pretty aggressive and she's almost reckless.
Wow, she's passing 66 and 32 Scott Allen on the
high side.
41, Walker is not letting her get away.
What the... Does she think we're at the
amusement park?
Little bites, little bites.
Take it easy, Kylie, you're missing your mark.
You've got lots more laps to do that.
Are you writing the check for these or is Cates?
Kylie Shines is takin' some pretty big chances, Wells and
Braniff, one shot.
Whoa, she's passing 'em, Shines goes up aggressively to third
position with number 41 Walker still right behind her.
I can tell you I did not expect this kind of show of the rookie
driver Kylie Shines today, she is driving to win.
Whoo.
You're over-driving.
Car's should have more forward bite.
I know what I'm doing.
Be smart, that's the key.
Be smart.
Fast, Crash.
I think you mean fast.
I found a lane that works for me but it's going a little
loose in the corners.
You got nothin', Shines.
(engines roaring) Walker passes Shines on the
outside.
Coming into the straightaway...
Whoo!
See ya!
And that moves him into third behind 44 Alexander
and 91 MacKay.
With 196 laps completed the leaders will have
to come in for a splash and go, to make it to the finish line.
Splash and go, splash and go, you got that, boys?
A pound in the left front, let's top it up, let's top it up.
Shines is tryin' to splash and go, we'll get you
out first.
Okay.
Let's see how fast the crews can get the job done for their
drivers, see who can make time out there.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on!
Get me out.
Jake, come on, you're slowin' me down.
You use that car up and she'll be all done before the
white flag.
Give me a sign that you're hearin' me.
Come on.
Get out of my way.
(tires squealing) (engine roars)
Uh oh, what happened there?
Whoa.
Whoa, I think she pulled out around Walker on the pit road
and that's a bit of a no-no, folks.
What was that?
I thought these two were on the same team.
You better get in that race or she's gonna win.
Relax.
I'm just havin' some fun with her.
With just four laps to go, Walker catches up with Shines.
And Shines is goin' for broke passing both Alexander and
MacKay for the lead.
With Walker dropping right behind her into second place.
Later.
Number 33 in the lead is drivin' like his hair,
I'm sorry, her hair's on fire.
I know what you mean, Boomer.
When'd she get to be that good.
Come on, Kylie!
Walker set up inside this track and you know he's all
she can see in her mirrors right now.
Come on rookie, show me what you got.
He's right there, stay cool.
I see him.
I don't know if Shines is used to this kind of driving.
41 will just not leave her alone.
Kid is pressuring her.
Trying to psych Kylie out.
And he's been in her mirror for the last three laps now,
trying to break her focus.
Welcome to racing.
(laughing) I can't get away from him.
Run your own race, the car will follow.
(cheering) And Walker keeps draftin'
and trying to move Kylie off the track and steal this win.
You're two tenths tighter on the clock, man, that's where
you're gonna get her.
He's not even trying to pass.
Drafting.
The leaders are comin' up on the final lap, this is really
gonna be a contest between Kylie Shines and Kid Walker.
White flag, Kylie.
One more lap to go, Kid.
White flag, it's on.
She's gonna mess up at the corner.
Going into three, fill up her mirror real good.
Spook her and she'll over-drive and get mad
then drive right under her.
Whoo!
Keep your focus.
Don't let him make you make a mistake.
Whoo-woo, yee-haw!
Faster.
This isn't working.
Calm down, Shines.
Stay cool.
Faster.
Down the straightaway Shines and Walker, nose to tail for the
checkered flag.
She's got him.
No, she doesn't.
He's got her.
Focus, take this next turn easy.
I'm gonna get him here.
Back off.
No.
Don't over-drive that car.
I can do it.
Back off!
(tires squealing) Shines, that's about
all you wrote.
No!
Oh, ho, ho, ho, no!
She must've tapped those brakes too hard, she overshot
the corner.
One, two and three it's Walker, MacKay and Alexander and
Shines comin' in number four.
And Walker gets the checkered flag.
Oh, baby.
Yeah.
Not today, sweetheart!
Whoo, whoo!
Predictable.
How'd you know that was gonna happen?
Because all rookies no matter how good, are the same.
How?
They never listen.
Ugh, she has to be crushed, you gotta wonder if she was
mentally ready to have Walker set up in her mirrors like that.
Damn.
I know you're not ignoring me.
Are you deaf, when I tell you to back off, back off!
How am I supposed to win sitting back?
Hey Kylie, most important rule, we race here.
If you're gonna make it onto Cates' team you're gonna
listen to me!
'Cause you don't know what the hell you're doin' out there!
You fell for every stupid move Walker sent your way.
He made you run his race, not your own.
I was in the race all day!
You were never in the race.
I was in the front!
How many cars crossed the finish line ahead of you?
I know, but next week I'm gonna do...
No, there is no next week, till you learn to listen to me,
you're going nowhere.
I'm done with you.
...your rules!
I don't need this.
Kylie, come on.
I quit.
You don't mean that.
Oh, yes, I do.

Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Oh.
Um, could I see you before you head home today?
Sure.
Okay, thank you.

Oh, how long term?
Well, at least until the end of the school year,
perhaps permanently.

Uh, no.

win over a pack of challengers.
Nice.
Kid may have won the day and remains the odds on favorite

It was Shines, the rookie and the daughter of a legend who

place finish.

Wow.

Women get me new sponsors.
Women do not respond to other women who are hot.
Okay, all right.
So, uh, what about a whole different angle?
What about a father-daughter match, huh?
Go on.
Uh, uh, left behind after her mother died, Kylie Shines grew
up not knowing her father, until now,
when father and daughter meet for the first time
on the track.
This is not about the trophy, this is personal.
Or some crap like that.

These drivers are gonna fight for every little bit of traction
they can get out there.
They're going to cook like burgers on a barbecue
in those tin boxes.
(engines roaring) Shines can't have been happy
with her starting position today.
Yeah, it's a lot easier to be Kid Walker who qualified number
one and is starting out in pole position.
He's got the inside track, all right, so Kylie's got a lot
of work to do if she's gonna catch him, and she's got
a lot on her mind.
And in fact her usual crew chief Crash Davis,
isn't in the pit today.
Come on, Kylie, let's go, now let's go, 'kay let's go.
Just take your time, work your way through the field towards
the Kid, he's still your leader, now, come on.
Kylie is movin' up pace, passing number 17, Woods.
Shines looks like an entirely different racer than
when we saw her last week at Riverside.
She's goin' into the third turn, and smartly overtakin'
Roche in car 66.
She's seven and over halfway Shines passes number 44 Beatty.
She's givin' the crowd everything they'd hoped for.
That's right Boomer, a faceoff between Kylie Shines
and the phenom, Kid Walker.
And Shines is passin' 99 now and moving into second place.
Kid, check your mirror.
33 is right on your tail.
And Kylie Shines, number 33 is now in second
place, behind Kid Walker, number 41.

Look who learned how to drive.
All right, if it's a race you want, it's a race

Now you're right on him, keep the heat on.
Uh-oh...

goin' I, I think Cooper's right in front of that...

past that wreck.

Now, you've gotta watch when you take it down low.

tape and by golly...

car back out there.
I mean, they must believe that patch job is gonna hold up
through the rest of the race.
All right, the track is clear and green, green, green, we're
back to racing in Tennessee.
Walker back in the track and Kylie Shines behind him.
We got a real race here, folks, with 21 laps to go.
Keep hitting your marks, Kid.
Stay outta your mirror, stay outta your mirror.
He's got Shines right on his tail, she's doin' to him what he
did to her last week.
Tit for tat.
Did you actually say that on ABC Family?
No, zig for zag?
Better.
Come on, Kylie!
Walker and Shines are comin' up on 72 Cooper,
who is a lap down after his contact with the wall.
Oh, Cooper's bumper is fallin' off on the track.
Kid look for some debris, it's on a turn comin' up.
What turn?
We're swerving.
Kylie, watch your fender on the corner, Kylie.
Say it again.
Turn three, kid, turn three.
Whoa!
(tires screeching) Oh!
Shines ran over some of that debris.
She's slowin' with some kinda damage.
The fender of 72 must've gotten up into an oil line,
that windshield is just covered in grease.
I have no idea how she's drivin' that race car.
Shows a lot of maturity on Shines part.
You gotta know that she's got a heartache right now, knowing
that she was the car to beat.
Well, she's gonna be back.

You wanna show me respect?
Then show up, two weeks.
♪ ♪
Hey.
(shower running) Kylie, what are you
doin' here?
I'm sorry, I'm nervous about the press conference and...
Can we talk about this later?
Baby, it's important.
Okay, I'll meet you downstairs in the bar.
The bar?
Is that the champagne, Kid?
(sighing) Wow.
(exhaling) Is that another sister,
Kid?
It's not like that.
This goes back a long time.
How long is long?
Long enough that you were hooking up with her when you
were sleeping with me?
Whoo, okay, just go back to bed.
Kylie, hey.
I'm sorry but you knew what this was.
What?
Charity event, great publicity.
It wasn't just great publicity for me, it was great
publicity for you, too.
Yeah, it was great for me.
Thanks for the ride.
See you at the press conference.
(cheering) At the end of one of the most
excitin' preseason's in racin' history, I'm proud to announce
a unique charity event.
The event will feature two of the most exciting up and comers
lighting up the race car world, Kid Walker and Kylie Shines!
(cheering) How does it feel to be in the
race of the sexes?
You know honestly, I think it's amazing.
Now, no matter what happens in this race, whether she wins or
loses, Kylie Shines is a credit to women everywhere and the
future of female racing.
Thanks Kid, for that inspiring speech but the last
time I looked under the hood of a car, they didn't have sexes.
(crowd laughing) Thank you.
I would like to make one correction.
This isn't just gonna be a race of the sexes.
There will be a third driver.
Ladies and gentlemen, racing legend Al Shines!
(cheering and applause) ♪ ♪
(cameras clicking) A week from now, racing will
match up, woman against man, youth versus experience,
legend versus superstar, and father versus daughter.
I've still got that spot on the team, right?
Let's just see what happens on Saturday.
We had a deal.
Well, deals change.
You happy now?
May the best man win.
♪ ♪ Jake, where were you?
I thought you were gonna be at the press conference.
Hey, what's goin' on?
Got a job with the Forlani crew in Portland.
You can't leave, not now.
Here's the thing Kyles, I actually can.
But what about the... I heard,
the race of the generations.
You have to be there.
Where were you when Cates was firing me?
Oh, right, you were standing right there.
I know, I'm sorry but I promise it won't happen again,
Jake, I need you.
Just not the same way that I need you.
God, Kylie you've known how I felt about you since
the sixth grade.
You've known I wanted more than friendship, and you've
taken advantage of that.
Jake, don't... No, I'm finally okay with it.
You, me, we'd never work out, right?
We're just too close to be that close.
It's my problem, it's not yours, but I just can't be
around you right now.
I mean, come on, we're good luck for each other...
Kyles.
You're a good racer, maybe even a great racer but you need to
start looking to yourself.
You don't need me to bring you good luck.
You don't need Kid to do whatever he does for you,
and you sure as hell don't need your dad to approve.
You just need to drive.
Fast, drive fast, that's all.
(tires screeching)
Well, here it is, race fans, a very unusual challenge match,
not on any schedule but with more interest than many of the
cup finals.
It's Shines versus Shines versus Walker, battling it out for a
place at the big show.
Winner gets to ride in the Robin Cates racing team, losers go
home and try again next preseason.
Robin Cates has generously donated half a million dollars
from Cates Industries and his team sponsors are matchin' that.
One million dollars to the Cates' Family Kids Foundation.
First of all, I wanna thank Mr. Cates and our sponsors for
letting me participate in today's race, I mean any time
you have a chance to race against a legend like Al Shines,
growing up he was one of my heroes and then to also be able
to race against his daughter Kylie, who I've gotten to know
pretty well, on and off the track, I gotta say, aggressive
driver, real aggressive racer, just kind of an aggressive
person overall.
So I think today it's gonna be really interesting.
But other than that, let's be honest, the sun is shining, the
stands are packed and this is the dream, what more could you
ask for, you know?
Crash?
What are you doing here?
Makin' sure you don't kill yourself.
You stickin' around for the race?
Thought I might.
Unless you want Jonesy as your crew chief.
No, no.
I want you to stay.
Next time I'll listen to you.
Next time, there won't be a next time if you don't.
You got that shield on tight?
Yes, sir.
Hey, Kyles, uh, you know, Portland can wait a day.
I had to see this one, I've worked too damn hard to watch
this from the stands.
You worked, huh?
Look, I know you don't need it but... good luck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(laughing) Let's go.
Let's do it.
Will the drivers please take their positions on the track.
(engines roaring) Now this is somethin' we don't
see every day.
A standin' start.
Three race cars on a half mile track.
Shines senior has been on the sidelines since his last
crack-up.
And Shines junior has had a few chances to beat
Kid Walker but so far her cup has come up empty.
Now Kid will most likely have an advantage over Shines and
Shines in this portion of the race track.
Well, at Shines age, my three legged golden retriever has an
advantage over him on foot.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the main sponsor of
today's event, Robin Cates.
(cheers and applause) Welcome, North Carolina,
happy race day!
We're bringing you a race featuring the future hall of
famer, Al Shines, his beautiful daughter Kylie Shines!
(cheering) And the new face of racing,
Kid Walker!
(cheering and whistles) Lady and gentlemen,
get ready to start your engines!
(cheering) Whoo.
(cheering)
(wind blowing)
(crowd roars)
(cars starting, engines roar) And they're off.
(tires squealing) Walker gets the drop on
Shines and Shines, but Kylie Shines is not gonna give up the
real estate that easily.
She looks to the outside, tryin' to move to the front but
Walker has got the preferred line, they're door to door as
they move into turn three.
What I hear, there must be a lot of animosity between
the Kid and Kylie.
I heard that, and they both want that Cates ride really bad.
I don't think so, Kylie.
Kylie is focused and on her game but she can't seem to get
around Kid.
All this is happening at speeds faster than we ever see
out here.
Three racers with the track all to themselves.
Al's got the best seat in the house.
It looks like he's just sittin' back to watch Kylie and Kid
run each other over the track.
Al's not gonna make a move on us.
No, Al's always comfortable in third, for a while.
Smooth and patient, right Crash?
Al's wanting you to go after Kid so you two wear
yourselves out.
And comin' round the fourth turn we have Walker, Shines
and Shines again.
We're now at lap 50 and Walker is still in the lead,
followed by Kylie Shines with Al Shines in third.
Protect the bottom there, he wants you on the inside.
Kid keeps tryin' to pull out in front but no matter where
he goes, she's right there.
Nope.
She's in there.
And man, almighty she's a good little driver.
She's takin' everything he's throwin' her way, she's still
right on his tail.
Let's see how Kid likes this bumper to bumper play.
Steady Andy, running my own race.
Kylie seems to have found a new style of drivin'
all of a sudden.
She's a quick learner all right, patient,
more focused.
I know.
What will Walker do with this?
He can't seem to shake her.
I've had enough of these games.
She wants to play like this, I'm gonna show her how the
big boys play.
Keep hittin' your mark.
She wants to ride on your tail like that, then you brake check
her and pull away fast.
Okay, which turn?
Turn two, three or four?
Turn two, turn two.
They're coming into the straightaway and Shines is
drafting while pressing Walker and it looks like she's gonna
try and pass and take the lead.
Brake check.
Ooh, Walker's brake checking, trying to keep Kylie.
(tires squealing) Walker's car is all outta steam.
(metal crunching) Whoo, look out,
the car is into the wall.
(crowd moans) Whoa.
Is he okay?
Walker still has not dropped his window net.
Oh, man.
Is he okay?
Is Kid out?
(siren sounding) Ladies and gentlemen,
number 41, Kid Walker has gone into the wall.
Please remain patient while the emergency crews do their work.
Is Kid out?
I can't see 'em.
They, they still haven't gotten to him yet.
Wait.
I see him.
Yeah, he's walkin' away.
He's okay.
Kylie Shines and Al Shines have cleared Walker but he
is definitely out of this race.
We've got a yellow flag.
And here comes the pace car for Shines and Shines, as Walker
walks away from his car, good news.
The crowd gives the Kid a big hand.
I'm not worried about the Kid, there's gonna be a sequel
in that good ol' boys future.
They're pushin' Walker's car off the track and now it truly is
a race of the generations.
Well, it's the youth over experience, we've seen so little
of Al Shines this season but I think everybody at this track
knows what he's capable of.
That's right, he certainly has more wins under his belt
than Walker and Shines and the rest of the Cates team combined.
But we've seen enough of Kylie Shines to know,
she isn't afraid of a fight.
It's just you and Al now.
And Al Shines has pulled up next to Kylie.
That's my dad.
What do you think, Crash?
Why, do you want a cup of tea or somethin'?
Al's not gonna just let you win.
He's gonna make you beat him.
And it looks like they're gettin' the green flag, yes,
they are getting the green flag.
Pace car has moved off the track.
Go, go!
And Shines and Shines are still open long like they're
out for a Sunday drive.
It's a family affair.
What is goin' on down there?
They've got one big wide open track in front of 'em and
neither one is makin' the first move.
(crowd roars) Uh, here they go.
Focus.
Trust your car, hit your marks, run your line.
Okay, baby girl, show me what you got.
These speeds are never achieved but with only two cars
on the track, they're goin' all out.
Got anything left, use it now, Kylie.
Holdin' it steady through the corners.
I'll get my chance.
Push it hard now, in the groove, in the groove.
(engine revs) Kylie buries the throttle.
Whoo, it just doesn't get any better than this.
But oh, Kylie's makin' a bold move, comin' outta turn two.
All right, let's see it!
Fake fast on the inside Al, and then go high
and around her.
He's makin' his move.
On the inside, I got 'em.
Now Al, go high, go, go.
He's waitin' for it, wants to go up around.
I see him.
Show her your fender up top.
Oh, and Kylie is blockin' every move that Al Shines makes.
She's out drivin' her ol' man.
Yes, good drivin', white flag!
One more lap Al, give it all you got.
I am giving it all I got.
He's pushing the car, but you can take it home now.
Nice and smooth.
Yeah!
♪ ♪
(cheering) It's Kylie Shines takin'
the checkered flag.
(cheering) Whoo!
Oh, Kylie don't scream into the headset.
You'll blow out the only good ear I got left.
We did it, baby!
Yes.
(laughing)
Yeah!
(cheering, whistles)

Really?
So you're lookin' for drivers then.
You interested?
Al, congratulations, darlin', you got a spot on the Cates
Racin' team.
Thanks, darlin'.
But, uh, I think I just got a better offer.
But you have a deal.
Um-hum.
Team Shines.
I want top billing.
Age before beauty.
Who just won the race?
And who won the hundred races before that?
Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?
You have no idea.
Wow.
Um, hey, isn't it tradition for the winner to get a kiss
from some beautiful girl.
Yeah.
Hum.
Kylie, get your mitts off my chief mechanic.
